The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article today about some recent polls showing President Biden’s approval rating and Americans’ opinions about his speech before Congress. The number reported by our mainstream media are very misleading.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Opinion polls are a well-known and effective method of shaping opinion. These methods have been well described<\/a> and include sampling whoever answers the phone versus likely voters, the latter being a practice of Rasmussen Reports in their high accurate<\/a> presidential opinion polls. Oversampling Democrats is another fraudulent way to produce a poll result favoring the DNC media agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Biden last week addressed Congress, at least those select few members invited to listen to Sleepy Joe propose new spending in excess of $4 trillion<\/a>, an amount larger<\/a> than what the federal government takes in annually through already-confiscatory taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite most or all members of Congress,\u00a0as well as the president and vice president, already being vaccinated, the sparse audience was wearing masks and sitting at least six feet apart. If fully vaccinated, why were the attendees acting as though\u00a0they were not? If the government message is that the vaccine works and everyone should take it, why are the top government leaders sending the opposite message?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article explains how to skew a poll:<\/p>\n

The last figure\u00a0was the sum total of the three main legacy television networks – CBS, ABC, and NBC, plus Fox News. Nielsen reports the audience from more sources at 26.9 million. Either way, Biden drew considerably less of\u00a0the audience that\u00a0Trump did in his first congressional address and far less than in\u00a0Trump\u2019s final address, even when cable media are included. As the Last Refuge noted<\/a>,<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s over a 60% decrease in viewership.\u00a0\u00a0 No crowds ever attended his rallies.\u00a0 There was no crowd at his installation.\u00a0 There are no views for his on-line speeches.\u00a0 The audience for his regular speeches are non-existent.\u00a0 Virtually no viewers at home.\u00a0 An empty chamber for his speech,\u2026 and yet we are to believe he received 81 million votes.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At least China Joe beat the Oscars<\/a>, which had only 9.85 million viewers, down 58 percent from last year\u2019s all-time low. Perhaps the woke leftists in Hollywood and the White House are not as popular as CNN believes they are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back to the poll, commissioned by CNN, conducted<\/a> by SSRS Opinion Panel:\u00a0The sample was 589 respondents, only slightly more than the size of the U.S. Congress. Of those surveyed, 45 percent identified as Democrat compared to 23 percent as Republican, a two-fold difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it any wonder that seven\u00a0out of 10 gave the speech a thumbs up? They should have saved money and just surveyed the CNN newsroom, getting the same or an even more favorable result.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Americans need to do their own research. When a poll comes out that seems odd, look up the poll and see who was polled. That’s how you spot fake news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
